This is from Northern Greenland; a waste sorting depot. the rest of the very good article is below.Apparently they are burning some of the stuff in the open air (presumably to get at the metal) which lets off dioxins (very nasty indeed). To be fair it does look like everything has already been picked through for useful parts (interesting that the remains of at least 3 computers make up a large bulk of the trash; and those aren’t small computers either (servers?) Plus you cannot even give away a working CRT monitor anywhere in Europe these days.
But what immediately struck me was that there was at least one fridge freezer. Why on earth would that be brought into Greenland in the first place? :you_crazy
